TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, November 18, 2013

Greetings Infomaniacs,

I was going to wish everyone a Happy Monday, but then I wondered...is there is such a thing? Is Happy Monday an oxymoron? Kind of like jumbo shrimp? Or same difference? How can a difference be the same?

Is that too many questions for a Monday morning? Most likely. Have a great week and enjoy today's trivia!

Enjoy!
Melissa
